International Standard Version

Jacob Meets Esau

33 When Jacob looked off in the distance, there was Esau coming toward him, accompanied by 400 men! So Jacob divided Leah’s children, Rachel, and the children of the two servants into separate groups.^{[a] 2} Then he positioned the women servants and their children first, then Leah and her children next, and then Rachel and Joseph after them. ³ Then he went out to meet Esau,^[b] passing in front of all of them, and bowed low to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
